Right round but wrong method Settled it, and here's how it went down...

Dan Hornbuckle vs. Steve Carl - Round 1 - Carl pushes forward, shoots and gets a pretty quick takedown. Carl walks him into the cage but Hornbuckle spins back. Hornbuckle keeps trying to work for a kimura from the bottom and it's making Carl focus on defending rather than attacking. Hornbuckle throws his legs over and finishes the Kimura. It's used as a sweep and now he locks it in from the top and Carl is forced to tap out. Beautiful technique from Hornbuckle who is using the tournament to prove that he can fight off his back and be successful. Dan Hornbuckle wins by submission (kimura), round 1.
